Thanks for including a "just want to see the results" option, though a question for that might have been better. I assume the 9999's are screwing up the means.

Would anyone who thought the tech would be available in the fairly near future be willing to explain their line of thought?

I thought about that - but then some value still would be needed for the numeric result.

I assume the 9999's are screwing up the medians.

The mean you mean I guess.

I recommend looking at the raw numbers - it is easy.

You're right. I meant the mean-- I've corrected it.
